About This Event

In our global business environment, it often isn't enough to derive a taxonomy in English. Frequently, international businesses and web sites now need multi-lingual taxonomies, or local language variations. This challenge was discussed in a CoP thread earlier this year, and now the May conference call will let you hear from some experts on this topic. Should you have a central master taxonomy and local variants? Do the local versions translate back to global term? What happens when some taxonomy owners are non-English speakers? What is the governance structure for a multi-lingual? Seth Earley, along with Marti Heyman and Denise Bedford, will discuss strategies, solutions, and describe case studies and examples about how to manage multi-lingual taxonomies.

Presenters: Seth Earley (Earley & Associates), Denise Bedford (World Bank Group, Georgetown University, University of Tennessee, Kent State University), Marti Heyman (Phena Partners)
